Hello Sorors,
It is football season and time to re-sign inactive players to our roster!!!! We want to keep the momentum of engaging sorors who want to reactivate with Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated®.
We welcome all members back to the team!
During the months of September through December 2024, Madam Regional Director wants our Mid-Western chapters to increase our reactivation numbers.
(expand for more information)
We need you to pass the ball to our inactive sorors for our region to reach the goal line. We are asking each chapter to host their Reactivation Event during the month of September, and we have provided a playbook to reactivate sorors through the end of the year.
The chapter that gets the highest number of reactivations will win $500. Sorors, we want to see the Mid-Western Region reactivate sorors to make a touchdown and win the game!!!!
